Nothing really.Everything is just a price adjustment as long as there is potential for money to be made.It just goes to how big of a discount you need and what you risk and more likely you BS tolerance is.That being said there are some things that are a lot tougher to deal with than others.- Title problems.

Members get a discount but anyone can buy.Buying the form is one thing, filling it out is another!

I pay $5 each discounted in bulk.

It was my first tenant so I suppose the best way to learn to swim is to be thrown to the sharks straight off the bat!

Sometimes you'll see houses in transition areas being used as real estate/bookkeepers offices until it is viable to tear down and construct straight commercial.

A straight option with a lease, with the ability to renew the lease and the option, at least at this time, is not come under Dodd Frank.

@k.mariepoe These were straight home loans, 30 year fixed rate for an out of state investor.

First its all in teh list and the more targeted the list the better the results.So a list that targets all home owners is going to not do as well as a list that might target something specific like:Out of State Owners - where you might get people who have moved away or inherited a house they don't want or burned out landlordsUnpaid Taxes - where people are in financial difficulty and going to loose their house to unpaid taxesOwned for a Long Time - where the people might own free and clear orHigh Equity Owners - again free and clearOr even other lists that you might build yourself -Expired MLS LIstings - people who want to sell but did notNOD - people who are have received a notice of defaultLate Pays - people late on their mortgageGarage & Estate Sales - people moving out of their houseAs for a good letter, I have recently used a yellow letter company for a simple I want to buy your house and they make a "handwritten" letter on legal pad paper, fold it weird to put in a thank you card size envelope, with a "handwritten" address, and grandmaesque return address label.It gets opened more, but we do get a lot of calls with people saying they don't want to sell or that we should say we are a company.We tested the straight Dear Mr Jones, we want to buy your house at 123 mainstreet with out our company name or website, just to call us . . that generated more calls than the letter that just went out that added in that we are an investment company and they can call or visit our website . . . can't tell if the results were much different.And personally, you can get all kinds of results, but it comes down to it, you want the motivated people to call you and those people are going to find you letter or not - if you have a website.

It's not a simple task when you're straight out of college and have no experience, especially when trying to go straight into brokerage.
